[pulseaudio-discuss] Pulse Audio, JACK and Google Talk

[Tony Austin]

I hope this is the right place to raise this topic.

I am running Ubuntu 11.10 which installs Pulse and JACK by default.  Sound
works fine with most things but not with Google Talk.  To get sound to work
with GT I have to Quit JACK.

I have read that if I can configure Pulse correctly that GT can be made to
work with JACK running.

I am trying to follow the Debian HOWTO and PerfectSetup.  I get lost quite
quickly ...

A few questions to start with:

1.  Should my user be a member of the "audio" group or not?  I have found
both as recommended.
2.  Do I need to enable Simultaneous Output in PA Preferences?
3.  If I do enable Simultaneous Output I can't start pulseaudio:

tony at ubuntu:~$ pulseaudio -D

Please make sure to remove module-combine from your configuration.

Any advice please?
